The first letter to the editor I received at The Observer News Enterprise was short and not so sweet.

In response to one of my early O-N-E columns pondering why thereâ€™s a pause at a particular place in the pledge of allegiance, a reader wrote in 2002: â€śI hope you have a pleasant, but short stay in Catawba County.â€ť

A little more than 10 years later, my stay here hasnâ€™t exactly been short.

Dear editor:

There seems to be lots of hoopla going on these days about the dire straits of athletics at Maiden High School.

For a few years it seemed as if Blue Devil athletics were on a declining trend struggling to regain the glories of past seasons. In all the debate over coaching, everyone has overlooked what this bunch of kids has accomplished.

Editor's note: The following letter to Catawba County Schools Superintendent Glenn Barger was shared with The Observer News Enterprise.

Glenn,

As a resident of Maiden and a taxpayer in Catawba County, I along with most of the Maiden High School district want to know what is going on with our football coach, and it is OUR coach since this is our community.
